Superintendent Looney attributes the school's success to several factors. "We have an excellent student/teacher ratio, we have a committed faculty with high expectations, and we have supportive parents and community members. We also spend a lot of time analyzing data from previous years to identify our strengths and weaknesses so we know where we need to make improvements."
